Great room, great location, great food and drink options. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the shower never got hot. Lukewarm showers kinda suck.
the room was immaculate and staff we encountered at Nui Nui and front desk were friendly and assisting.
we would stay here again.

The room wasn’t ready when we checked in 40 minutes after their scheduled check in time and there was mold under the caulk in the shower and room. We’ve been to this property before when it first opened and had no issues and this experience was mostly positive, just a couple small things to not get complacent on would be great.

My room was very comfortable and large. I loved the big windows. The staff was extremely accommodating at the hotel and at he restaurants. I will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family and will come back.
LOVED staying at the Anderson House! Such a unique and fun vibe. Every person we interacted with working at the hotel were so warm and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Will definitely be coming back!

The rooms need refrigerators to keep beverages in and for medical reasons. The room was OK. Heating was so so in the room.
The school theme made my stay more engaging and fun. All the extra little places were easy to find and explore. The staff was helpful and friendly everywhere I went. The food was pricey but delicious. I would stay again!
